For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the embodiments illustrated in more detail in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Examples of the present invention will be described below. It should be understood that the following disclosure describes the present invention with respect to one embodiment, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In addition, the drawings are not to scale, the embodiments are described by the reference numerals and figures of the drawings, and partial views, and in some cases, for understanding of the present invention, which is the same as the conventional manufacturing and assembly. Details that are not required may not be included in the disclosure.

Referring to the drawings, a golf bag according to the present invention is shown generally at 10 in FIG. The golf bag 10 comprises an elongated tubular body 11 that is closed at the bottom 12 by a base member 13 and open at the top 14. This body 1
1 is a natural or synthetic material, supported on a support member such as spaced vertical rods or horizontal rings made of a suitable material, ie metal or other material of sufficient strength and rigidity. It can be made of a material consisting of textiles. The base member 13 is also made of an appropriate material (for example,
Made of plastic).

The body 11 has a plurality of pockets 11a and 11b for accommodating items such as balls, tees, and clothes. The main body 11 has a main opening 15 defined by a pair of dividers 16 and 17. These compartments receive multiple golf clubs. Golfers insert the club into the bag by inserting it into the main body 11 from the grip portion of each club. The strap 18 is then used to strap the bag over the shoulder and carry it to the desired location.

The pocket 11a is an elongated enclosure extending in the length direction of the main body 11. The enclosure is a side wall panel 19
And a side wall panel (not shown) opposed thereto, a front wall panel 20 and a rear wall panel (not shown) opposed thereto. The front wall panel 20 is formed with an elongated first opening 21 (see FIG. 2) that is accessible within the cavity or pocket defined by each wall panel and is typically
A flap 22 that covers the opening 21 is provided. A sliding fastener 23 (or other suitable closure or fastening means) releasably secures the flap 22 to the rest of the front wall panel 20. The town 24 fixed to the inner wall of the pocket 11a and the flap 22 is formed by the main body 11
Restricts the movement of the flaps outwards of the pocket 11
It serves as a holder for the items placed in a.

A slit 25 formed in the side wall panel 19
(See FIG. 3) provides a second opening for access to the pocket 11a. The second opening for access is the main body 1
1 extends from one end to the other in a substantially longitudinal direction. Therefore, when the bag is placed inaccessible to the access first opening 21, the slit 2 that is the second opening is opened.
The inside of the pocket 11a can be accessed through 5. A sliding fastener 26 (or other suitable closure or fastening means) releasably secures the edge of the slit and closes the slit.

The embodiment described above has two openings for access and a flap for one opening. Alternatively, the pocket can have more than one opening,
Further, a flap may or may not be provided at the opening of the pocket.

The above description and the description of the drawings disclose and exemplify certain embodiments, but the invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains will be able to make variations and other embodiments using the principles of this invention, especially in light of the above teachings. Accordingly, the applicant seeks to cover, by the appended claims, variations and other embodiments that incorporate the features that make up the basic features of the invention.
